God Learicened—Altbough the Lord had given specific directions to afanoalas wife, he listened to Mal -titan's prayer and aziseeeeed Le tans repeating the promise and inetructione.

Dr. Robinson observed near the fountain of Zerate Several women, "toiling upward to - word the village, each with her Jr of eater on her head. The village, the fountain, the fields, the =imitates, and the females bearing water, all," says he, "transportea us back to an- cient times, when in all probability the mother of Samson often in like manner visited the fountain and toiled homeward with her jar of water."— Whedon. 10.—The woman made haste—She evidently knew • that her husband de; sired to see the one who had before •••• -.appeared to her and made her the promise of a child.

There is a close connection between" this exa ptession and the question which fel- lows, as if,. Manoah had •said, "Now that it is Coming to pass, how shall we," etc. What .shall be the oedering of the child, (R.- V.)—Manoah was anxious to know how to meet the great. reeperisibility that wits being placed upon him and hie wife.. The angel of the Lord had told his wife that he that was to be born of her and her -husband should "begin to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philis- tines," hence he was to be an import- ant personage. Manoah believed that unusual care and training should be given. He wished to 'fear for himself the directions that had already been given. la, the angel of the Lord seta unto Manoah—As the Lord had• heard Manoah's prayer tor—a second visit or the heavenly visitor,so he heeded Me request for a second statement of directions about the child. Of all that Said let her beware—There eyes no pew intittediOn to be given, and no instructions thet she had received were to be negieeted.

Oatied his name Samson—The name signifies, according to Josephus, one that is strong. Some have doubted this signification, because the root "shemeeh" means the sun; but Fuerst shows that from the sense Of being bright, shining, comes easily the meta- pliorical sense of being distinguished, strong. Hence the name means a dis- tinguished hero.—Whedon. The Lord blessed him—Samson was a child of Promise and was given for a special Work. The Lord endowed him with those peculiar powers that he could use in the work for which he had raised him up. 25.

In the marvellous ordering of divine, provie donee nothing 'is more calculated to lift human life into its highest ranges of experiences than parenthood. ..11 brings ea, new dignity, the sense of which connects the task of those who have it with the creative energy of God. The tideof life is felt to rise as the new office and the new responsi- bility are grasped. It is the corona- tion of, life, and the child,drawing father and mother to itself, is rightly the object of keenest interest and most tender care. in more than one story of the Bible the motherhood of a sim- ple peasaet woman gave rise to divine communications and supernatural hopes. 'Manoah's wife wasa true in- terpreter of the divine thought. *She was a wornan with a great unit arid a large heart, to whom God was a real- ity-. She had a great longing for the deliverance of Israel, for something 'Iteroie in history in which God would vindicate his might and grandeur above the ileathen gods. Without hesi- tation the angel of Jehovah spoke to lier 1 tha,field. Her bright hopeful- ness rested on a solid foundation. She stated her ease to Manoah with won- derful simplicity and clearness, giving' three reasons for her consolatory as- suranceof deliverance filial death, namely, accepted sacrifices, gracious revelations and precious promises. The answer to many a prayer of hope was coming and in their own .home the hero *as to be cradled. Conscious of ignorance and inexperience, and feel- ing the weight of resnansibility.

Drought in Northwest Cut Yield Per Acre. • • The census of the Statistics Office has issued its final report The report states that, in marked contrast to 1913, the season proved particularly unfave °rabic to the growth of grain. Per- sistent drought throughout the great- er pert of the Northwest ProvinCes re- sulted in a yield per acre of the chief cereals lower than in any season since 1910, and lower than the aVerage of the six years ended 1913, In Ontario and Quebec, though the grain- crops suffered from a dry season, the condi- tions were not so unfavorable, whilst in the Maritime Provinces a favorable season resulted in good returns. . YIELD OF GRAIN CROPS. For the whoie of Canada the area es- timated to be sown to field crops was 35,102,175 acres; as compared With 35,375,430 acres in 1913; but owning to the 'drought the total productive area In 1914 was reduced to 33,440,075 acres. -Upon this area the total production of grain crops in busliele was as fol- lows: Wheel, 161,286,000, as against 231,717,000 i 1913; oats, 313,078,000, against 404,669,000; barley, 36,201,000, against 48,319,000; rye; • 2,016,800, againet 2,300,000; peas, 8,362,500, against 3,951,800; beans, 797,500, against 793,300; buckwheat, 8,626,000, against 8,372,000; mixed grains, 16,382,- 500, against 15,792,000; flax, 7,175,200, against 17,539,000, and corn for husk- ing, 13,924,000; against 16,768,000 bush- els. The yields per acre Were in bushels as follows: Fall wheat, 21.41, compar- ed with 23.29 in 1913; spring wheat, 15.07, against 20,81; all wheat, 15.67, against 21.04; oats, 31.12, against 38.78; barley, 24.21, against 29.96e rye, 18.12, against 19.28; peas, 17.64, against 18.05; beans, 18.20, against, 17419; buckwheat, 24.24, against 21.99; mixed grains, 35,36, against 33.33; flax, 6.62, against 11.30, and corn for husking, 54.39, against g1.30. VALUE OF CROPS, Computed at average low market prices, the • values of these crops in 1914 'were as follows: Wheat, $196,- 418,000; oats, $151,811,000; barley, $21,- 557,000; rye, $1,679300; peas, $4,895,- 000; beans, $1,884,300; buckwheat, $6,- 213,000; mixed grains, $10,759,400; flax, $7,368,000, and corn for husking, $9,- 808,000. For air field crops including root and fodder crops, the total value amounts to $639,061,300, as compared with $552,771,500 in 1913, the increase of 86,289,800 being chiefly due to the enhancement of prices, which has thus more than counterbalanced the low yields of- grain in consequence of the drought. • WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY, IN THE NORTHWEST. In the three Northwest Proviuees of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta the production in 1914 or wheat is placea at 140,958,000 bushels, compared with 209,262,000 bushels in 1913; of oats at 150,843,000- bushels, compared with 242,413,000 bushele, and of bar- ley at 19,535,000 bushels, compared with 31,060,000 'bushels. The wheat production of 1914 in Manitoba was 38,605,000 bushels, from • 2,616,000 acres; in Saskatchewan, 73,494,000 bushels from 5,348,300 acres, and in Alberta 28,859,000 nushele front 1,371,- 100 acre's, KAISER AND 'SON IN HOTDISPUTE Latter's Orders Countermanded By the Emperor. 00•••••••1000* New York, Jan. re—A Lambe Daily Express despatch, dated • Amsterdam, Sunday to •the NeW Yo: Herald, "Neutral travellers returned from Ger- many state that a bitter conflict between the Kaiser end las two sons, tho Crown PrinC) and Prince August 'Wilhelm, IS being opnly cliscussd In Rerlin.

Suggeetliva that it was not unlikely that the Irti- iteti States imme day would build an- other inter-ceeanie waterway to sup- plement the Panama Canal, Secretary Bryan to -night explained that he re- gardcil it as a wise precaution for the American (lovernment to negotiate treaties with Nicaragua and Cute Rico, giving this country an option on it, canal route across that section of Central America. He also spoke Of the importance, of a na:al base in the Bay of Fonseca and announced that the State Department was Dre- yer% to treat for tills with Honduras, aalvador and Nicaragua.,, .. • "Any great enterprise like the Pan- ama Canal," said Mr. Bryan, "invol- ves Uneertainties.

AnyoodY who is interested in so large an en- terprise as our canal at Panama can afford to pay a small atimunt for this additional route." The Secretary explained at length the purpose et the pending treaty with Nicaragua, which, in its original form, awakened a protest from Costa Rica as well as Itonduras and Salva- dor. He expresed the opinion that these protests had arisen from a mis- understanding, the purposes of the 'United States, and thought the situa- tion had now been clarified by the announced purpose of the American Government to treat liberally with Honduras and Salvador for their rights on the .Bay of Fonseca, and with Nista Rica separately for her portidn of the River San Juan, which forms a part Of one of the suggested routes.' As 4 result of these treaties the united States, by the payment Of $3,- 000,000 to Nicaragua, and about half that amount to Costa, Rica, would ob- tain an option on any ,canal route across those two countries. .

He went to Badajoz for the Purpose of evading restraint: The Violentupheaval was due, he says, to dissatisfaction with the ad- ministration of War Minister Ices. A. large number et officers, including the general commanding the Lisbon garrison, were in sympathy with the revolters. A possible key to the trouble in Portugal is found in the curious cir- cumstance, that although Portugal is at war with Germany, the German Minister remains in Lisbon and the Portuguese Minister tarries in Berlin. England's naval patrol of the so- called "strategic triangle" of the At- lantic, formed by the Cape Verde Is- lands, the Canaries and the Azores, is serving a double purpose since Penn-, gal became a party to the war.

London, Jan. 25.—There was given out in London to -day a further recital of eonditions at the front by an eye- witness attached to the British Gen- eral Staff, It is dated, Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the British General Headquar- ters in France, and a synopsis of it follows: Tile work of the artillery, particular- ly on the British right, ts discussed, and it is related that weather condi- tions are improving. The difficulty of maintaining good roads, which are ground to pieces by heavy motors, is mentioned, and extended denial is given to a German report that the English have used German prisoners as aeroplane observers. Continuing, the observer says: "The continuous artillery combat al- most takes the form of a game in some parts of the field. As soon as the German batteries start shelling us our guns are directed against certain Places on the enemy's lines, the bom- bardment of which, we know by exper- ience, will soon induce him' to desist. Having obtained the range of most of the hostile batteries, we generally can reduce them to silence or render their fire comparatively harmless. "On Saturday, January 16, our guns made egood practice against the Ger- man trenches, and also found an excel- lent target in a German battalion marching through a forest, and they made direct hits on a convoy and ob- servation station at Volaines. On Sun- day,. the 17th, north of Givenchy, we shelled the German redoubts, and forc- ed the garrison to retire. On Monday, the 18th, the British tort was heavily shelled without result. "An alleged German official report declares that a certain German 'Mu- eller in the English lines claims that on several different occasions he was forced to ascend in a British aeroplane In his shirt sleeves to point out the German positions and drop a bomb. This whole story is a pure fabrication, but it presumably would not have ap- peared unless it was likely to be ac- cepted as true in Germany and in some neutral countries The absurdity of taking up a private soldier, who never before had made an ascent, in order to ascertain the position of units of which he knew nothing, is sufficient refuta- tion. Moreover, we would be hardly likely to render his task more diffi- putt by inflicting the needless hardship of exposure. "Immease efforts and a great amount of material are being expended to keep roads in• repair under the mo- tor traffic. Furthermore, in nlanY cases, the paved portion of the roads are so natrow that vehicles are unable to pass each other; consequently, it has been necessary to widen the paved sur- face, Although stone block is one of the most ancient and durable forms of road, it becomes broken up in time by heavy motor traffic.' "The weather is now dry and windy, which results 1 improving conditions inthe trenches. The wind at the height of halt a mile has reached a velocity' of ninety miles an hour. In spite of this successful aeroplane flights have been accomplished," ESSEN NO BIG SUCCESS Amsterdam, Jan. 25, via London.— The Britt& air raid last week on the town of Essen resulted hi the destrac- tion of four hundred war automobiles, according to it correspondent of the Handelsbiad.

FIFTY ---YEARS - OF PROGRESS UNION BANK CLOSES A SUCCESSFUL YEAR. Net Profits 8712,000.00. Gain.; in Pub- lic Deposits, Current Loans, Note Cireulatie and Total Assets. The shareholders of the Union Bank of Canada who attended the annual meeting held in Winnipeg on 6th of January, had no reason to feel dis- appointed over the report presented to them. The record showed that a half century of careful business had ree.e..... stilted in the building up of a strong reserve, the accumulation of assets to- talling over $81,500,000, and in the es- tablisuing of the bank in a leading position among the banking institu- tions of the country. Net prefits for the year 1914 amounted to over $712,000.00 as com- pared with $750,000.00 for the previous year, This contraction of $38,000.00 in, net profits was to be expected, owing to the world-wide business depression, which included Canada in its sweet), and affected the earnings of all our banking institutions. Apart from this one decrease the general showing made by the bank was satisfactory, while a number of gains were registered. Note circulation showed 'an increase over the figures for 1913, while current loans in Canada were $4,000,000.00 more than In 1913. Total assets are 5o670080.10,00. 00,000.00 greater than in the Previous 3 ear, and now stand at $81.- The increase of $4,000,000.00 in cur- rent loans is rather exceptions.' and indicates that the bank has not been curtailing credit to its customers, but on the other hand has been doing its full share in catering to the business needs of the communities in which its branches are located. At the same time that this generous poliey was pursued, the bauk was careful to maintain an unusually large proportion of its as- sets in quickly available form. 'The liquid assets anlount to 34.90 per cent. Of tile bank's tote' liabilities to the public. Public -confidence in the bank is farther shown by the fact that pub- lic deposits show an increase of over $386,000.00 while the tutiount of Nelda, 3d:21;0707 and stocks held by the bank shows an increase of $1,- With the $90,000.00 brought forward from the previous year added to the net earnings of 5712,000.00 makes' $803,000.00 available for distribution.
